Toronto Raptors Tickets Information

Toronto Raptors
Based in Toronto, Ontario, the Toronto Raptors are a professional basketball team. Established in 1995, the team, along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, is a part of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Early Struggles
When the NBA, as part of its expansion into Canada, awarded its 28th franchise to a group headed by Toronto businessman John Bitove, the Toronto Raptors were established on 30 September 1993. The Raptors, along with the Vancouver Grizzlies, played their first games in 1995, and were the first NBA teams to play in Canada since the 1946–47 Toronto Huskies.

To help name the team and develop their colours and logo, a nationwide contest was held. Influenced by the popularity of the film Jurassic Park, the final selection—Toronto Raptors—was unveiled on Canadian national television on 15 May 1994. Because of rotating and shifting the positions of different players of shooting guard positions or at point guard, team makes its first ever playoff appearance, fulfilling a promise Coach Carter had made to fans in the previous season.

Team optimism started to fade early in the 2002-03 season. Players underwent injuries, expressed disinterest, had a laissez faire attitude and all in all were a team that lacked the motivation and spirit of the previous years' teams. The Raptors ended the season with a 24–58 record and Wilkens was sacked. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, when the Raptors were given the 4th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft and brought another star to Toronto in Chris Bosh.

Massive Fan Following
The Raptors have enjoyed a consistent fanbase throughout their history. From 2000 to 2002, the Raptors led the league in sellouts, but attendances dipped slightly between 2003 and 2006. This improved during the 2006–07 regular season, an average of 18,258 fans attended each game (13th in the league), which translates to 92.2% of the ACC's seating capacity. Following the success of the 2006–07 season, Toronto became one of the league leaders in season ticket sales.

Community service
Dedicated to assisting Ontario’s registered charities that support programs and sports initiatives for at-risk children and youth, the Raptors Foundation is the charitable arm of the Raptors. The Foundation strives to lift spirits and change lives for young people by supporting local and provincial organizations that provide recreational, educational and other youth-oriented activities.

Through its community ties and with the help of its corporate partners, donors, Raptors players and volunteers, the Foundation has successfully raised more than $14 million since 1995 and reached out to thousands of charities. The Raptors Foundation is one of three parts of the Raptors' community service program. The other projects are Raptors Community Relations and Raptors Basketball Development, both of which focus on providing basketball development programs. The Toronto Raptors lead the NBA for amount of money donated to the community.
